Arcade and Accessories

I was gacha lucky at The Arcade and received the rare everything gacha from MonCheri on the 1st try!  It's so rare that I get lucky!



My red boots are from lassitude and ennui.  They're available at L'Accessoires.  I traded gacha goodies with the always lovely Sanura Snowpaw for the Haute Monde "Unfortunate Souls" necklace.  If you went to the The Arcade and didn't get what you wanted, there are a number of gacha trade sites popping up.  Check out this plurk.

My hair is one of my purchases from Hair Fair from Rosy mood, and I'm still, and will always be, in love with Mayfly eyes and Sn@tch's new Nightlight Makeup.

Bad Girl Gone Good

Even the worst people aren't bad all the time.  That would be impossible.  And even in the worst areas, with the highest crime, the overwhelming majority of the people there are good, hard working people who want nothing more than to live out their lives in a safe and meaningful way.   

We are at our best when we are working to make the world better, to fight injustice and vice, and to help others less fortunate. You don't have to be a superhero to do that.  All you have to do is to contribute your little part to make the world a better place.  That's all it takes.

If everyone did their small part to not contribute to the evils of the world, think of how much better things would be.  I have no fantasy that I'm going to cure cancer or accomplish any great feat for mankind, but I can do my part.

Now, how about you?

The Pink Ribbon Fair runs from August 4th to the 29th in collaboration with Relay For Life.  The fair will raise money for the American Cancer Society to fight breast cancer.  Please go and support this worthy cause.  Visit the Pink Ribbon Fair website for more information and a slurl after the 4th.

The Ghosts of Hairdressers Past

I took a quick trip to Little Heaven after finding the hairdresser's belt in my inventory.  It's still there in the hair room as a freebie.  While there, I was visited by a ghost.  This ghost was angry about the failure of certain celebrity hairstylists to eradicate the mullet and their attempts to bring it back under the guise of "layering."  This ghost had a secret for me, but I had to follow her into a dark hallway and down some "stairs.

"What happened here?" I asked.  The ghost only laughed.  

"What kind of place is this?  Why are you taking me here?"  I received no answer.

"Did that bag just move?" 

The ghost blew past and into the water while laughing maniacally.

Afraid and apprehensive, I followed.  I needed to know more.  I needed to find out where the ghost was leading me.  So, I carried on.  Further and further down until I finally realized where I was being led.

It was a room, long forgotten.  It was flooded and filled with death and sadness.  This is where the ghost of hairdressers past gathered her souls, and she was intent on taking mine.  I was lead to my own demise.  But what the ghost didn't realize is that I had already sold my soul long ago in exchange for good hair.

So, beware of encountering a ghost at Little Heaven.  She is still hungry for a soul.

Kiki!

"Kiki's Delivery Service" was one of my daughter's very favorite movies.  I remember her standing above our broom, closing her eyes, and wishing more than anything that she could fly, just like Kiki.  When I saw the Kiki outfit from +KiiToS!!+ on Tami Burt's blog, I was there in a red hot second.

I love Jiji riding on the end of the broom.  It's such a wonderfully cute costume for Halloween.

BBBC Topic #2 - Being Positive

Today's BBBC challenge is to write about three positive things going on in your Second Life.  Well, now, that is a challenge.  I'm fairly curmudgeonly by nature, so this is going to take some effort.

Positive thing #1:  Operation Squeegee.  I am very excited to get to take part in Operation Squeegee.  One of the hardest things about disasters like the BP oil spill is that there is so little that one person can do about it.  But, if each person does their little bit, together we can all make a difference.  So, having the opportunity to take part in this worthy cause is something that means a lot to me.

Positive thing #2:  Ok, curmudgeonly Isa is already having trouble with this challenge.  I'm sitting here thinking, "Well, I have friends in SL and they're a positive part of my SLife, and I really like my little shop, as lame as it is, and um, I like making stuff and blogging stuff" and all I can think is, "OMG! that all sounds so dorky, goofy, sappy.  Barf!"  So, yeah, I guess positive thing number 2 is all this sappy stuff.   It's all positive.  *barf*

Positive thing #3.  Bite me!  I'm not going to even attempt a 3rd positive thing.  My mind just doesn't work like that.  All of you fluffy, butterfly, sunshine, happy, woo hoo type people with your high 5s and your squeals of joy can have your positive stuff.  I'm going to stick with my curmudgeonly ways.  You can't change me!  *shakes fist*
